Does anyone know where I can obtain a listing of all the awards and medals that were awarded to Rene' Fonck. *I've checked the search engine and had no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Check out Fonck's entry in the Aces section of this web-site. His decorations are pictured - you can then cross reference these with the Medals section.
Have fun.

Please forgive the bother, but, is there a copy of OTF that covers Fonck? *That one issue I'd like order a backcopy of.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Graeme:

Please disregard last post. *I now realize that your reference was to Franks Over the Front (now that I have it in front of me) and not the magazine of the Aviation Historians. *I periodically recover from this coma I seem to be in.

Thanks anyway!
